Predicting "American Idol" outcomes is almost as much a pasttime as watching the show itself, so it's no surprise that there are few surprises about the Fox hit, including that Coaling's Casey Thrasher, who graduated from Brookwood High School in 2009, will be featured on Wednesday's audition episode, from Salt Lake City, Utah. It airs at 7 p.m. Central.

Thrasher, 22, has served in the U.S. Army and is, according to his Facebook profile, now living in Nashville. He's continued to play gigs in Tuscaloosa, at The Red Shed and Rhythm & Brews, as recently as December. Thrasher and his group won a Battle of the Bands competition at R&B in August, playing country and country rock covers.

Tonight's show will announce whether Thrasher moves on to Hollywood with a "golden ticket."
